415Make the denominators the same.
25 =
615 Number of croissants that Risa sold in the morning = 6 u
Number of croissants that Risa sold in the evening = 4 u
Number of more croissants that Risa sold in the morning than in the evening
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
2 u = 8
1 u = 8 ÷ 2 = 4
Total number of croissants that Risa made
= 15 u
= 15 x 4
= 60
Answer(s): 60
